Default Blower cam on turbo 416

I have a forged 416 9.5:1, prc 255 heads with a custom spec’d cam from cam motion for a procharger. I decided to change my setup to a turbo due to the flexibility of the turbo and hated the noise of the procharger.

im torn on the final decision for the turbo but it will be an s480/96 1.15 or an s484/96 1.15 v band. Fp 84htz

From what I have gathered the cam is more like a pd style design and is supposed to be pretty tame for its size with good drivability.

id really like to leave the cam in there instead of changing it unless you guys think itll cost me a lot of power vs a cam designed specifically for my setup?

here is a pic of the cam card

Coupled with a 9.5 static CR, it's going to be really soft on the bottom end. I'd spend the bucks and get a cam designed to work well with your exact rig. I could see that cam working just fine with a TVS2650 on top. Not so much with a turbo setup.

I was worried about that and having a hard time spooling a large turbo. Thanks for the input
